So, earlier this year we set up a YouTube channel – Poppy Does Science, making her own science videos as a way to practise her presenting skills. These have led to her being recruited as a Junior Scientist for a lab supply company who have set up a page on their website showcasing more of her experiments using their equipment. She would never have had the confidence to do any of this if not for what she has learnt through opportunities such as BAFTA workshops and the encouragement she has received from the likes of TV presenters, Katie and Ben. Please keep doing what you’re doing. It really means a lot to your audience and their parents.” Paul, Poppy’s Dad 3 BAFTA KIDS BAFTA KIDS INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING ACTIVITIES: BEHIND THE SCENES LARGE-SCALE EVENTS held in schools and at relevant festivals and venues TELEVISION PRESENTING MASTERCLASSES SMALLER, MORE IN-DEPTH EVENTS held in classrooms – particularly beneficial for engaging children with low confidence and attention challenges CHILDRENÕS HOSPICE SCREENINGS A SPECIAL PARTY AND SCREENING OF FILMS for children with life-limiting conditions and their families BAFTA ROADSHOW WITH PLACE2BE A UNIQUE TOUR OF WORKSHOPS TO SCHOOLS AROUND THE UK specially aimed at children with emotional and behavioural issues with children’s mental health charity Place2Be 4 BAFTA GURU LIVE BAFTA GURU IS AN UNRIVALLED ONLINE RESOURCE OF INSPIRATIONAL AND EDUCATIONAL CONTENT FOR FILM, TV AND GAMES AND GETS NEARLY 2.9 MILLION VIDEO VIEWS PER YEAR.

  • The Senescence of Creativity: How Market Forces Are Killing Digital Games
    The Senescence of Creativity: How Market Forces are Killing Digital Games Matthew M. White Memorial University [email protected] Abstract This paper examines the recent wave of repetitive, derivative commercial off-the-shelf games as a phenomenon posing dangerous implications for the health and viability of the video games industry, foreshadowing particularly a major crash or paradigm shift in the near future. Implicated in these predictions are the games industry's ignorance of player wants, needs, and individualities, the dangerous economic precedent of the generation of derivative works, and the evidence of gamer dissatisfaction through free and open gaming communities. The paper poses solutions in the form of player-centred game development and participatory design, arguing that facets of each may be the measures needed to allow the games industry to emerge from the aforementioned slump. Author Keywords Innovation; creativity; slump; video games industry; game production; games studies; theory; opinion Introduction In the decades since digital games first arrived in the home, the creative process by which games come into existence has undergone a significant paradigm shift. As technology, platforms, graphics and sound have become more advanced, barriers to entry have been created, both legal and financial. Gone are the days of the Atari 2600, during which any lone designer could develop and publish a game with relative ease. Today, licenses and copyrighted engines are generally required to develop for home consoles. With those licenses come financial and logistic hurdles for aspiring game designers. The lack of originality in games is well observed among those who play them; one need look only so far as the repeating series of slightly altered “license” games released each year, some examples include the FiFA series', or Madden series.
